Here is a great original video created with OpenShot 1.4, which shows the progression of an artist, layer by layer, creating a beautiful scene of a girl holding a puppet. The artist used Krita 2.4, an open-source digital painting application, and used OpenShot to animate the progression.

Great job! Is a lot of work! See my videos, also made on Openshot (all). http://www.youtube.com/user/Milnux

I have recently tried to use OpenShot to edit a work related demo video.
The exported Youtube HD format video looked crisp and the effects looked professional. I only had a few crashing issues when rendering it as 1080p, but switching to 720p everything went well.
That is until my boss said to add an intro text tile page to the beginning of each section explaining what the demo is about to show.
The discovery that I can not select multiple clips and at least move them is shocking, since OpenShot is a multitrack video editor.
For now, I have to use other editors and redo all the work. I really hope the multi-clip editing issue can be addressed, because I think it's more critical than a lot of other issues such as frame seeking that are listed as on top of the to-do list.

OpenShot can move many clips at once, with our "Shift Clips" menu. Just right click on a clip or transition, and you can shift all clips on that track to the left or right. While I agree that dragging and dropping multiple clips is much more intuitive, OpenShot does in fact have this feature. =)

Hello, many compliments for your work, it is truly wonderful! But I would like to report a failure: I have a video clip consisting of 20 transitions and effects, if I enter (or edit) an item in the middle video, I have to move all the clips by hand after the point of change ... would be nice to select and re-align them all together .... I hope you will do it for me is the only failing that, the rest is more than ok!
thank you very much for your work.

hi Jonathan,
Thank you for relying. First of all, I just want you to know, I love what you have done with the Openshot project. It is amazing how fast this project has progressed. Please don't take my multi-clip (request/whine) as me knocking your wonderful work. It isn't intended as such. I had an wonderful experience editing with Openshot, until my boss asked me to change things.
I am aware of the shift clips option on the right click menu, but then it shifts clips on that entire track starting from the clip that the right click menu was called up from.
but all the transitions don't move together with the clips. While that make sense, since sometimes users probably don't want to shift the transitions, but with the multi-select and drag and drop, users can choose which clips should be moved and which shouldn't.
What I faced with a couple of days ago was that I need to insert several clips to my already tuned timeline. While several clips and effects on one track needed to shift, many clips after it on the same track needed to stay where they were.
I have to guess-timating how many seconds I need to shift the clips, and which clips needs to be shifted backward again after the first shift. When I realized that i should have shifted more a couple steps in, I have to repeat the procress over and over. That may be fine if I had only 2 tracks, but I had 6 and they all need to move together. It just got too confusing.
I had to use another tool because my boss thought adding a few titles in between the segments is necessary, and just add 10 title cards became a lot of work. If how the end result looks was all up to me, I would never have to use other tools.
But sometimes stuff happens, current method of moving multiple clips isn't ideal. And as users, currently this probably impacts us more than other more hardcore engineering tasks on the project's to-do list.
I used to edit video for fun back when I still used Windows. I have since stopped because video editing in Linux back then was a chore. The editing experience with Openshot is sweet, and thanks for bring this project to us.

Really great work Jonathan!
However I also miss the move selected clips at once feature!
If you make complicated video with many cuts and then want to change something in the middle (cut something for example) - then lack of this feature makes it impossible.
Thanks a lot!

First of all Johnathan what a fantastic piece of work. I have used video editing equipment in as a professional for 20 years. I need simple fast editing to edit video's of other people Skydive experience. Wile others seem to be highlighting quite sophisticated requirements of a multi-track editor. I feel I need to point out a very basic shortcoming. What is needed is a graphical representation in the timeline of audio volume and the ability to adjust it. This is the only simple way to fade between the video recorded sound and the backing track. If this was added then it truly would rival OS X and Windows.

This is a great tool! Transitions are great and software is easy to use. I have one question or request for improve. How to shift or edit almost ready video, when I need to tune beginning of the video i.e. how to move all clips? I think this is same comment as #5.

I searched for an open source editor to make a picture slide show. Openshot is exactly what I need. The concept is perfect but it did crash multiple times. I worked through it as I was having it auto save regularly. I had the project nearly complete (approximately 35 minutes of photos and music) with only the transitions to add, when it began using all of my computer resources and would lock up then crash. It simply would not do anything. When I would reload, and press play to see the outcome it would freeze again for several minutes then crash. Sadly, I scrapped the project and made it in (gulp) windows movie maker. My system has a 2.8 ghz dual core processor and 4 mb of ram operating Fedora 16 64 bit OS. Good luck. I would really LOVE to see this work on my system.

Thanks a lot to promote my work. i think openshot is a very good tool.Easy for newbies and strong enough when you want to make more advanced edit.
I miss some things like a new to do titling, and an edit preferences/ default fade time. 2 seconds is too much for me for fast fade. i prefer 0.5 or 1. but this deserves another comment on forum.

It's great and easy.
I had never done any video at all, and in a few minutes with OpenShot, I could do this beautiful video with music for a friend...

And I must go deeper to squeeze all the possibilities of this amazing open-source program.
Thank you, Jonathan.
